I had a chuckle at this.

Seems no different than the other huge corporations that have come on hand and knee to the government over the years.

Trump hater. Biased. Hypocrite. Slander Trump all you want with these fake news Media lying deep state sources that set out day one to destroy him the moment he announced he was running for president. Listen I am no fan of him and I am not sharing any of my personal opinions here. All I’m looking for is equal treatment. Here are the 97 links to verify my unbiased objective post that clearly shows Biden and Obama equally bad that you chose to ignore. All I’m asking is for fair due process. Wow you left leaning unbearable hypocrite Lib’s at it again. Sad. just trying to get out in front of this. Happy Mother’s Day to all your favourite women in your life. We’re sorry in how we’ve screwed everything up. Please take over.

You’re assuming I joice in the first place.

Anyone watch the last scene of the HBO mini series, The Plot Against America? Voting machines removed on Election Day during the Presidential vote because they were "broken" said one thug to a voter who asked what was going on. Thousands of voter ballot boxes stolen stuffed with votes burned. Voter numbers rigged for certain candidates to win & others to lose.

That's a horrible way to negotiate. Never go in with a number you can't justify. If you do, you get the other sides backs up and it makes it harder, if not impossible, to come to an agreement.

fun fun fun!

They had to be made an example of. Society needs to change and this is how you begin to implement that change. Make an example of the worst offenders when they come to light.

I don’t know. I look at that list and see a lot of potential...to work with a Trump administration. Quite unremarkable. Say what you will about Ambrosie but he’s presented a lot more ideas and pushed to have the League successful in different ways. Successful all the time? Heck no. But, he’s probably tried a lot more than half the names on that list put together. A sign of the times..

So here's just a few problems based on my years in gov't reviewing all sorts of funding proposals. I've seen stadium/arena proposals. I've seen plans to create 5 meter x 5 meter gardening plots. I've seen almost everything in size and scale under $500 million. I've also seen a lot of people coming forward who don't even know what they need. They can't articulate it. But... 1 - You need to come with a real plan. Sure, you can get through the door, gets someone's ear about your plight but, if you don't have a plan, waiting for gov't to develop one can be problematic. 2 - If you're relying on gov't to have a plan, you better have a lot of time and not be approaching them during a crisis. Like now. The gov't analysts are working OT already trying to come up with plans and formulas to tackle the bigger problems facing our economy right now. This is not a small ask. Someone needs to analyse all the data and determine what the economic impact would truly be if the CFL folded. Also, what are implications for bailing out the CFL? Who's next on the list? How much are you going to hand out and how do you pick winners and losers. 3 - If gov't is going to bail them out, they need a policy in place to rationalize it, which goes back to the previous issue. It sounds like the CFL has identified that there is a problem and have found some ways to contribute back through offer advertising but they haven't come with a plan. That's what I'm reading.

I think Ambrosie should have dealt with the P.A. before going to the Fed. govt. cap in hand, having a whole load of wishy-washy maybe factors involved in the negotiations makes it much more difficult for the Feds. to approve. No 2020 season means no income which translates to no pay for the players beyond what has already been handed out, if that means every current player gets cut and they start over with new lineups in 2021 so be it, the survival of the CFL is at stake. This is not the time to negotiate with an organization that can't see past the end of their noses, cut the players loose, cut expenses to the bone, then go to the govt. cap in hand with a realistic request that will help preserve the structure of the league.

You can play whatever semantics game you like...clearly if it comes down to it the CBA and player contracts are going to come down to legal determination at some point. If you start any process without collective cooperation between the CFL and the CFLPA it certainly doesn’t sent a very positive image to anyone you are asking support from. A TEAM effort clearly wasn’t demonstrated and the perception of that hasn’t been encouraging. Get our act together !

The electronic voting machines are also easily hacked, and there is evidence that they were, particularly in Florida when Bush Jr. won the state.

Well there are for democratic presidents.

Lots of places are still paying bonuses adding incentives and hiring new people that are looking for bailouts and or support. The fact the gov't is being Soo stingy and resistant to helping a cultural institution and one of the oldest championships in history is sickening. That's a good point. Has any one signed a draft pick yet? Maybe the teams have agreed to a movement freeze while this is sorted out.

Could be a good idea. But also I'm uncertain how putting bonus money on the table is going to look at this point when the CFL is pleading for a bailout. I wonder if the teams have been told to lay off that for now.

There goes another Winnipeg institution. How can they survive? So sad & frustrating.

The unfollow button has become one of my best friends.

He is an adult, with adult privileges and the responsibilities that come with those. It is to be hoped that he can learn from these stupid mistakes and become a better person.

I would call him the Don Cherry of politics, but that would be an insult to Don Cherry.

Can’t wait for trump to publicly express his admiration for famed actor Robert Redford and congratulate him on being head of the CDC.

The only way is massive cheating and/or the pandemic flaring up that keeps masses of people from voting. In a fair fight they lose. Easily.

I’m so totally glad to have been born in Canada 🇨🇦

Wuss.

Dr. Fauci heading for modified self quarantine, everything is perfect folks, also CDC director Redfield full quarantine.

This CBC interview with a supposed sports economist is terrible. "If you're telling me that Ambrosie's being honest about losing $20 million last year, then $150 million is seven years of loses," he said. "Why do you need a decade worth of losses now?" WTF is that? Economist my ass. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-funding-pandemic-1.5563123

It was a bad look for a guy who makes his living as a so called CFL Insider. Do I think any less of him? No. But he should have known better.

Also for some reason the amount of points a player scores (or value they bring to a team) also impacts how severe society looks at the punishment. It's easy to throw away a 4th liner like this guy... but if Ovie were to do the same... I guarantee the team and fans would be much less critical. Weird society.

I see that as part of the problem in today's society. If someone is racist, homophobic, or say, anti - semitic, that is viewed as inappropriate and is usually dealt with severely. Yet, other offensive things, such as in this case degrading women and teammates, are seen as less serious, because so many people do it and it is an ingrained part of certain cultures. Hopefully people get to a point where they are just disgusted with themselves.

How else will I get my dominos pizza flyer? But seriously, mail is pretty essential still. So it isn't as cut and dried as just close it down.

Is that the Canadian Receiver Emergency Benefit? ...I'll see myself out.

Wade Miller would make a great CFL commissioner one day. I don't know if he would leave his post as el presidente of the Bombers, but he's a great candidate. He has the business acumen, understands the struggles of the league and bleeds all things CFL.

Donald Crump? Yeesh! That’s too close.. That was the start of our drought. Coincidence? 😳

Be well TLB. We’re with you.

I don't understand how people can be so dumb as to not understand why 99.9% of the population are doing something......

DYK: Tonight TSN is showing the game where Milt got his 138th TD to break the all time record. Former OB.com poster Coorsman, who, like a lot of us these days, has too much time on his hands.....put these together for your viewing pleasure........

The PPV idea is fatally flawed. TSN makes it's money selling ads. The more people who watch the games, the more those ads cost. PPV greatly reduces the number of folks who watch, which in turn, greatly reduces the amount TSN can charge and bring in. They'd be better off putting all the games on TV and giving the CFL the contracted amount of money for the number of games televised.

Guy is 25..who doesn't **** up at 25? Made a big mistake should be allowed to deal with it. Lots of young guys talk like this it just talk,bragging. **** i am an old fart and i see it was just guys shooting the **** with each other, it was wrong and he screwed up but to for a young guy at least give him another chance? Nope hopefully he learns from this but wow its not like the kid killed anyone...this society has become so thin skinned..scary.

Last week I lost my Aunt, this week I lost my Mom. There are a lot of deaths occurring in nursing homes nation-wide that are not directly linked to COVID-19, but should be considered collateral damage due to the extra stress that has been placed on these facilities.
